Compared with these, the lyrics of The Lebanon seem fairly uncontroversial - after much thought, Phil concludes that war is a bad thing and we should all love each other.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06588874186379122974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2636508067249739208.post-78922908778253991822009-01-07T16:08:00.000+02:002009-01-07T16:08:00.000+02:00Hi Elwyn.

Obviously at Phil's home town they would still play it, and this was Wales which was probably more tolerant. I am positive that DJs at the radio stations were not playing it, boycotting it. Not officially but unofficially. 12 year olds remember these things about their idols.<BR/>I agree that 'Don't you want me' is one of my favorite songs of all time, but The Lebanon's lyrics are extremely powerful nearly 30 years later due to their relevance in what is happening in the area.<BR/>Nobody wins in war. Nobody. That's the sad truth.<BR/><BR/>BTW, you will also be surprised to find out, that despite the UK's progressiveness, George Michael's 'I want your sex' was banned.Zeta Zizouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03071881752734497122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2636508067249739208.post-47613676590959688302009-01-07T15:49:00.000+02:002009-01-07T15:49:00.000+02:00Are you sure it was boycotted by UK radio stations...Are you sure it was boycotted by UK radio stations? I was living in Sheffield then, Phil Oakley's home town, and I don't remember a ban. But it's nowhere near as good as Don't You Want Me and Open Your Heart!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06588874186379122974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2636508067249739208.post-67875192253438732852009-01-07T15:31:00.000+02:002009-01-07T15:31:00.000+02:00Thank youMusicobsession, welcome to my blog and th...Thank you<BR/>Musicobsession, welcome to my blog and thank you for your comment.Zeta Zizouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03071881752734497122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2636508067249739208.post-65510035332510400732009-01-07T13:52:00.000+02:002009-01-07T13:52:00.000+02:00"...and who will have won when the soldiers have g..."...and who will have won when the soldiers have gone.."<BR/>A very powerful post, Zeta!!!!George Georgitsishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14957907177510276581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2636508067249739208.post-36103858626053014582009-01-07T13:34:00.000+02:002009-01-07T13:34:00.000+02:00great storygreat storyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
